Alaves Team News
Alaves reached the round of 16 thanks to a “narrow” victory against Valladolid at home with a score of 1:0. They had one more player for almost the entire match, but after gaining the advantage, they practically stopped, and were not too dangerous for the opponent’s goal.
At the same time, the home team is fighting a big fight to return to La Liga. However, lately, their plans have not been going according to their wishes. Alaves registered only 1 victory in the last 5 games, so now the deficit compared to the second-placed Las Palmas is a big 5 points.
A much more important match awaits them on the weekend against Racing Santander, so the big question is whether success in the Copa del Rey or the fight for La Liga is more important to them. All in all, we can’t say that the Alaves team left an overly great impression this season.
Sevilla Team News
As surprising as it sounds, Sevilla is a team whose fight for survival is the highest score this season. However, we have to be realistic and say that a large number of injured players greatly impacted Sevilla’s results this season.
The victory against Getafe in the penultimate round suggested that Sevilla could come out of the crisis, but immediately followed a shocking defeat to Girona with 2:1, despite Sevilla being the better team on the field even have an advantage.
The Copa del Rey is the visitors’ only chance to win a trophy this season. The victories of 5:0 against Torremolinos and 5:0 against Linares sufficiently show their desire for as much success as possible in this competition. Alaves is a much better opponent than the mentioned teams, so the guests will face a much more difficult task.

Alaves vs Sevilla Prediction
Both teams have much bigger problems and challenges in their respective leagues, so both of them would prefer to avoid this match. If we ignore that, we have to give priority to the guests for several reasons.
In the last 15 games in all competitions, Alaves scored 2 goals only 2 times, even though they played most of the matches at home. This, perhaps, best speaks of their real qualities. With all that, it seems to us that the fight for La Liga is much more important for them at the moment.
However, Cup matches are very specific, and many unexpected things happen. Sevilla has a better offensive line but, at the same time, a rather weak defensive line, so it is not impossible that even Alaves can score.
We feel this could very well be a very open game, where a goal early in the match could bring much more excitement than expected.
